Sniffa and I are going to go blind...It's so dark in here

I don't want to turn on the lights...it's so hot. I suppose I'll have to at some point. Until then...I'll squint my way through.

1. LOL

I doubt the lightbulb will make much of a difference to the heat level.

2. Actually, it heats up quite a bit once the lights are on

One 150 watt, a 60, and a 40.

The AC is straining after hours of 90+ temps...I don't dare.

Ack! he just turned 2 on!! x(

4. it may be a good idea

to invest in some Compact Fluorescent Bulbs. They replace the incandescent ones you have now.

They also save energy.

3. Fluorescent lights are your friend in these cases.

Also, window fans FTW.

It may be hot outside... but if it's hot inside too, then the airflow can only help.

5. We don't have window fan friendly windows...

And, the air out there is 100x worse. We have fans in the bedroom, AC in the livingroom. :)
